WARNING DECAL PLACEMENT

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and

instructions in this manual and all warnings on the weight bench before using the weight bench.

Sears assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the

use of this product.

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure

that all users of the weight bench are ade-

quately informed of all precautions.

2. Before beginning any exercise program,

consult your physician. This is especially

important for persons over age 35 or per-

sons with pre-existing health problems.

3. The weight bench is not intended for use by

persons with reduced physical, sensory, or

mental capabilities or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they are given supervi-

sion or instruction about use of the weight

bench by someone responsible for their

safety.

4. Use the weight bench only as described in

this manual.

5. The weight bench is intended for home use

only. Do not use the weight bench in any

commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

6. Keep the weight bench indoors, away from

moisture and dust. Do not put the weight

bench in a garage or covered patio, or near

water.

7. Place the weight bench on a level surface,

with enough clearance around the weight

bench to mount, dismount, and use the

weight bench. To protect the floor or carpet

from damage, place a mat under the weight

bench.

8. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each

time the weight bench is used. Replace any

worn parts immediately.

9. Keep children under age 13 and pets away

from the weight bench at all times.

10. Keep hands and feet away from moving

parts.

11. Always wear athletic shoes for foot

protection while using the weight bench.

12. The weight bench is designed to support a

maximum user weight of 300 lbs. (136 kg).

Do not place more than 310 lbs. (141 kg),

including a barbell and weight plates (not

included), on the weight rests. Do not place

more than 150 lbs. (68 kg) on the leg lever.

13. Always place the same amount of weight on

both ends of your barbell. While adding or

removing weights, always keep some weight

on both ends of your barbell to prevent the

barbell from tipping. Always secure weights

with your spring collars.

14. Before you use the weight bench, make sure

that the backrest support is properly inserted

into a pair of brackets on the main frame. In

addition, make sure that the seat pin is fully

inserted into the seat support and the post

frame. See the drawing on page 4 to iden-

tify these parts.

15. Before you use the weight rests, make sure

that the weight rests are properly attached

to the uprights. In addition, make sure that

the spotters are properly attached to the

uprights.

16. Always exercise with a partner. Your partner

should be ready to catch your barbell if you

cannot complete a repetition.

17. Over exercising may result in serious injury

or death. If you feel faint, if you become short

of breath, or if you experience pain while

exercising, stop immediately and cool down.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES

FOUR TYPES OF STRENGTH WORKOUTS

Note: A “repetition” is one complete cycle of an

exercise, such as one sit-up. A “set” is a series of

repetitions.

Muscle Building—Work your muscles near their maxi-

mum capacity and progressively increase the intensity

of your exercise. Adjust the intensity level of an indi-

vidual exercise as follows:

• Change the amount of resistance used.

• Change the number of repetitions or sets performed.

Use your own judgment to determine the amount of

resistance that is right for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8

repetitions for each exercise you perform. Rest for 3

minutes after each set. When you can complete 3 sets

of 12 repetitions without difficulty, increase the amount

of resistance.

Toning—Tone your muscles by working them to a

moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a moder-

ate amount of resistance and increase the number of

repetitions in each set. Complete as many sets of 15 to

20 repetitions as possible without discomfort. Rest for

1 minute after each set. Work your muscles by com-

pleting more sets rather than by using high amounts of

resistance.

Weight Loss—To lose weight, use a low amount of

resistance and increase the number of repetitions in

each set. Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a

maximum of 30 seconds between sets.

Cross Training—Combine strength training and aero-

bic exercise by following this type of program:

• Strength training workouts on Monday, Wednesday,

and Friday.

• 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on Tuesday and

Thursday.

• One full day of rest each week to give your body time

to regenerate.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

Familiarize yourself with the equipment and learn the

proper form for each exercise. Use your own judgment

to determine the appropriate length of time for each

workout, and the numbers of repetitions and sets to

complete. Progress at your own pace and be sensitive

to your body’s signals. Follow each workout with at

least one day of rest.

Warming Up—Start with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-

ing and light exercise. A warm-up increases your body

temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation

for exercise.

Working Out—Include 6 to 10 different exercises in

each workout. Select exercises for every major muscle

group, emphasizing areas that you want to develop.

To giv e b alance a n d variet y t o your w o r kouts, v a r y the

exercises from workout to workout.

Cooling Down—Finish with 5 to 10 minutes of stretch-

ing. Stretching increases the flexibility of your muscles

and helps to prevent post-exercise problems.

EXERCISE FORM

Move through the full range of motion for each exer-

cise and move only the appropriate parts of the body.

Perform the repetitions in each set smoothly and

without pausing. The exertion stage of each repeti-

tion should last about half as long as the return stage.

Exhale during the exertion stage of each repetition and

inhale during the return stroke. Never hold your breath.

Rest for a short period of time after each set:

• Muscle Building—Rest for three minutes after each

set.

• Toning—Rest for one minute after each set.

• Weight Loss—Rest for 30 seconds after each set.

STAYING MOTIVATED

For motivation, keep a record of each workout. Write

the date, the exercises performed, the resistance used,

and the numbers of sets and repetitions completed.

Record your weight and key body measurements once

a month. To achieve good results, make exercise a

regular and enjoyable part of your life.
